The only WebOS device I ever owned was an LG smart TV LOL but my mom did have the original Palm Pre! Every once in a while, someone releases a product that clearly harkens back to it and reminds me how far ahead of its time it was.
I'm a front-end developer, so I don't know that either lol. Ideally I'd do it in Python (CircuitPython) but that's a bit wishful I think... Not sure I could get any sort of performance for the display without C/C++
We’ve used LVGL with MicroPython - and performance is identical to C. Which makes sense; you’re just calling through bindings to methods implemented in C.
LVGL is still tricky to build with, however; we’re working on that!
I came across https://slint.dev/ while in-depth researching for this project, which seems easy to use. A lot of videos of everyone's various projects for the ESP32 platform have looked quite laggy though so I am a bit worried... Might be related to the TFT displays/SPI? Won't be sure til I get my hands on it

I am yet to get ESP32_C6 working but others have. See the Discord linked below.
